30, 40, or even more.
Just because 30 or 40 people copied the same call,
doesn't mean it's the "right" call. I've listened in
awe to some stations giving their callsigns with the
same (often highly-accented) phonetics over and over.
When pressed about a specific letter, they clarify with
different phonetics that reveal a different callsign.
In fact, several times a contest I find myself calling
a station, getting told by him that I'm a dupe, then
hear the station use a different set of phonetics that
changes his call. (This happens with spotted calls a
LOT.)

Yes, of course, I am not 100% sure that those calls were actually right and
I completly agree with you. I am just wondering based on what were they
determined BAD as there was no WN and the call is issued and active
according to all callbooks and databases and he did not submit the log.
